ARM with Qemu

[Nicolas VARONA]

Hi Adam,

support is missing in Linux. Strike?

Sorry for answering so late, but I am still looking if it's a problem of
the board's hardware configuration. Nonetheless, when I told you the
panic, I had already enabled the VFP this way:
[...]
#
# At least one emulation must be selected
#
CONFIG_FPE_NWFPE=y
# CONFIG_FPE_NWFPE_XP is not set
# CONFIG_FPE_FASTFPE is not set
CONFIG_VFP=y
CONFIG_VFPv3=y
CONFIG_NEON=y
# CONFIG_KERNEL_MODE_NEON is not set (no change even if it's set or not)
 
Is that correct or do I forget something? I am wondering something: Does
l4linux automatically enable FPU on the board's boot when it's enabled
in the l4linux configuration?

Thanks for your help and great work! This was the problem. I have added
the line and compiled the Fiasco: 
Ned says: Hi World!
Ned: loading file: 'rom/hello.cfg'
Press some key: l
Your input: l (108)
Enter a number: 
4
Your number is: 4

The l4 bare metal application works. Nonetheless I tried to compile the
l4linux with the change in the fiasco and I have still no input in Qemu.
Is it the same issue for l4linux?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Nicolas
